title: MicroRNAs and possible role in pituitary adenoma.
abstract: This review reports the current knowledge of microRNA (miRNA) expression in pituitary adenomas, focusing on recent microarray data. Moreover, a discussion is provided concerning the possible role of validated and putative targets of the most dysregulated miRNA in pituitary adenoma pathogenesis.
